I dress differently, what should I do?

I'm a 16 year old guy. I like wearing vintage/indie/preppy clothes, just basically my own look. But, I go to a private all-boys school, and have always dressed like everyone else. However, I want to stop now and dress how I want to, but I'm sure people will call me gay and my friends won't understand (I'm not gay by the way, well actually I'm not sure yet). I have tried it a couple times before, and people did comment that it was a bit different. What should I do, should I not care, like I want to, or should I stay dressing mainstream, to keep my friends accepting me?

Just do it. I reallly like the look you described, actually, so maybe I'm a bit biased. I'm sure your friends won't really care that much - it might come as a surprise at first, but eventually they'll get used to it. If they aren't huge douchebags, that is. And if they are, then you might as well get rid of them. So yeah, do it, be one well-dressed guy in a sea of generic-ness. ;D

Do your own thing. It will make you stand out among all the clones. If your friends are real friends they will accept you. And you'll feel better wearing what you want instead of dressing up to please others. :)
